Module 8 presents the challenges associated with bridges in areas of seismic risk. It begins by discussing geotechnical challenges and past bridge failures. Several USGS animations are included to demonstrate basic seismicity principles. The module then introduces hysteretic behavior and force and displacement-based design methods, ending with an overview of pushover curve analysis.
